Battle of Hamedan

The Battle of Hamedan was an engagement between the Persian Empire and the Macedonian Empire that resulted in a Greek victory.

Battle
General Cyaxares and a large army of Persian troops assembled in Medea, preparing to retake the Province of Assyria from Alexander the Great, whose army was smaller, yet battle-hardened. The Persians won the first round, savaging the Agrainian peltasts, and overrunning Alexander's lines, yet in the second one, Alexander prepared to give quicker orders. His armies were crushed once more, so he decided to encircle the enemy. When he encircled the army of Cyaxares, the final battle occured. After an onslaught, the Greeks triumphed and cut the Persians to ribbons.
